Ivyo dusoma mw’Ikete Umutumwa Pawulo yandikiye Abanyagalati (2, 1-2.
7-14)
Ncuti zanje,
Imyaka cumi n’ine ishize, nsubira kudugana na Baranaba i Yeruzalemu,
kandi na Tito ndamujana. Naduzeyo kandi kubera ivyo nahishuriwe, kandi
narabiganiye ivy’Inkuru nziza mpora nigisha mu banyamahanga, nkavyiganira
abarabwa nk’abakuru twiherereye, kugira ngo sinirukire ubusa canke simbe
narirukiye ubusa nyene.
Abo bakuru, aho baboneye ko nashinzwe kwigisha Inkuru nziza
abatagenyerewe nk’uko Petero yashinzwe kuyigisha abagenyerewe, kuko uwagize
Petero umutumwa w’abagenyerewe ari we yangize nanje umutumwa w’abanyamahanga, kandi aho bamenyeye iteka nari natewe, Yakobo, Kefasi na Yohani, ari bo barabwa
nk’inkingi baciye badukora mu minwe, twe na Baranaba, ngo dufatanye na bo, ngo
tuje mu banyamahanga, na bo ngo bagende mu bagenyerewe. Ariko, ico bagomvye gusa
n’uko twokwibuka aboro; kandi ari co nyene nari nsanzwe mfitiye umwete ngo
ndakirangure.
Mugabo, aho Kefasi aziye i Antiyokiya, naramwankiye imbonankubone, kuko
yari abikwiye. Nka ko na none, abantu bamwebamwe bo kwa Yakobo batarashika,
yahora asangira n’abakristu bavuye ku bupagani; ariko bamaze gushika, yaciye
yiyonjorora arabanena, kuko yatinya abagenyerewe. Abandi Bayuda baciye
biyorobeka nka we, bitayeko na Baranaba nyene arahava atwarwa n’ubwiyorobetsi
bwabo. Ariko aho mboneye bataye inzira itunganye, bagaca riho iruhande y’ukuri
kw’lnkuru nziza, naciye mbarira Kefasi imbere ya bose nti: «Mbega, wewe ko uri
Umuyuda, ukigenza nk’abanyamahanga, ntiwigenze nk’Abayuda, ni kuki ugobera
abanyamahanga ngo bigenze nk’Abayuda?»
